Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 422: First trump card

The difference between apocalypse and other eras was that there were no rules.

The biggest difference was that it was also that there were many rules.

If you were strong, you were the rule. If you were weak, you followed the rules.

Thus, no one dared to enter when the strong Counter Cloud Peak Alliance split the region, forming the battlefield. At least no one dared to yet.

But today, someone entered, and many people did.

Since they sneak attacked Cloud Peak and forced the only five-star evolved to appear, they prepared to attack on the second day. But they stopped because of that weird red cloud.

Counter Cloud Peak Alliance wanted to fight today, but these survivors spoiled their plan.

“Where did they come from?”

Pang Cheng sat on a stone and asked.

He had his clothes over his body and was topless, revealing his fats and the wounds that just sealed. The sneak attack left many wounds on his body that hadn’t healed. He hugged Lou Xiaoling. His aura wasn’t as confident as before, but he was still arrogant.

Xia Lei had healed up yesterday, while Pang Cheng’s wound was only sealed today. It was the difference in healing.

Sound Iron and Little Nine frowned. They didn’t know anything about these people and needed to wait for their men’s report.

“Wait. at most in the afternoon or tomorrow; we will get news.”

In the afternoon, there was news.

“Cannibal Chain?”

They looked at two identical copies of intel. Sound Iron and Little Nine, including Wen Hong and Pang Cheng, looked at each other.

Maybe Pang Cheng was used to developing his faction alone, so he didn’t know this organization, but Soul Merchant and Glory Army knew. After all, they were super factions that spread over many regions. They paid attention to other similar organizations, so using their intel net made it easy to find out who they were and where they came from.

“Although this organization had divisions in many bases, they avoided regions that big factions controlled. For example, Soul Merchant and our regions don’t have them. Are they crazy? They want to stir up the situation here?”

Little Nine tossed the intel and glanced at those people in the distance.

“Someone hired them.” Sound Iron moved his purple right arm. The ghost woman who wore Green Flower’s mask ripped off a piece of its meat. Although he used medicine he got from the wheel, it still affected his movement.

“To hire so many at once, based on our understanding of the price, they need at least 8-10 three-star potions. Not anyone could afford this price.”

The few five-stars evolved nodded. They might have used five-star potions and had many four-star experts under them. But three stars were the core strength. In other words, these prominent factions’ average was three, one level higher than the mankind average.

Ten bottles was not a huge sum to them, but it wasn’t small either. They had to hunt for a week before they could get it.

A one-week hunt of a big faction was not a small matter; it was a huge operation with a few thousand people.

“Moreover… Do you see their movement? They got nearby yesterday morning but didn’t enter the region we control. But this morning, they are just a kilometer from us. What happened in those ten hours?”

Little Nine thought about it and drew their thoughts.

“They are probing us?” Lou Xiaoling sounded like she guessed the answer.

Mockery appeared in Little Nine’s eyes, and he shook his head, “No, it should be a change in attitude.”

Sound Iron touched his chin, “Before coming, the person who hired them might not know that he was facing us, so before they understood what was happening around them, they didn’t dare to enter the area we control. But a few hours later, they are here and are very nearby. Which means the person who hired them added money?”

Little Nine smiled, “I think so, too; that makes sense. They were resting last night and didn’t set up camp. This proved that they were waiting for something. If the person didn’t add money, these people would have just left.”

“Aren’t they afraid we would take revenge?”

Pang Cheng had a sharp gaze, and his giant body stood up. He looked at the busy camp like he wanted to teach them a lesson.

“They are afraid.” Little Nine stood up, “But they fear Soul Merchant or Glory Army. They shouldn’t be afraid of our divisions.”

“En?” Pang Cheng turned around, and his eyes were squinted so much you couldn’t see anything, “Isn’t it the same?”

Little Nine and Sound Iron looked at each other. None of them explained it as it was too complicated. Super factions had many things involved. But the former still explained to this temporary ally, “Since they are here, there should be enough benefits. Or rather, the mysterious person’s strength and payment counter their fear of us.”

The few were silent, and then Little Nine continued, “Actually, it isn’t hard to see if they are afraid. Just continue to attack Cloud Peak, and we will know.”

At night, when Cloud Peak thought this was another peaceful day, Counter Cloud Peak Alliance attacked. Thousands of them got close. At the front were several heavy trucks whose heads were reinforced with thick metal horns. They were used to break the gate.

They moved, and the new faction moved, too. They started to move closer to the walls, but they were aiming at Counter Cloud Peak Alliance.

“Retreat.”

Little Nine looked, and he was expressionless.

The Counter Cloud Peak Alliance backed down just like that, and the new group retreated to their camp.

“They are here for us!”

Sound Iron muttered but smiled. He told Little Nine, “Seems like we have to use our trump card to see if they are unafraid of us.”

Little Nine pouted, but he had trauma in his heart.

That night, a 300-man team brought ten giant metal cages covered in black cloth.

God Hall officially joined Counter Cloud Peak Alliance.
